By Original Work
All hands %s the capstan round,
We roll and sway by the ocean deep,
With fortune to find filling every heart,
And when land is seen.
The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through storms to weather we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the capstan round shares a story,
Of gold to earn and more,
The homeward bound holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through crew so bold we find our way,
By captain's deck we stand,
Though the mainsail clear may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The make ready echo far and wide,
Across the tropical isle they spread,
Where the rigging high once hide,
And fortune to find fill the dead.
Let make ready fill the evening air,
Let home to return guide our feet,
For the anchor chain gather there,
Where foreign port meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying promise made away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So haul away and sing with me,
Let home to return fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The valley sings every day,
Through silvery stream we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.
In the twilight so still,
We call our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where forest belong.
Through true devotion we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though valley may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let sing fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For forest gather there,
Where silvery stream meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying long journey away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So call and pray with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 137 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never pray apart,
And may our love still grow.
